Times Argus Best of The Best Award

For the last six years, The Times Argus felt the need to celebrate what's great about Central Vermont. If you agreed with them, you think Vermont is the best place to live in the United States, which naturally means this voting would pick who's the Best of the Best. So their readers were selecting what became known around the Times Argus as the "BOB Awards."

The Times Argus said that "These awards are a chance for people to find out what they might not have known, or might have had in front of them all along without really appreciating. Many of the award-winners are local icons or long-time favorites, but some of them might not have as much time in the public eye. We hope you find out for yourselves what makes these businesses and people special enough to be the Best.

A big thank you goes out to the readers - you took the time and care to help us out, and we appreciate it. From Waterbury to Hardwick, Montpelier and Barre, we heard you .... "

At Midstate, we would like to thank all of the readers who took the time to vote and most of all thank the dozens of people that voted Midstate the best, or the runner up in not one, but several categories. We hope we can continue to earn your trust and appreciation for many years to come.
